Neograft Hair Restoration

NeoGraft Hair Restoration in Savannah

Hair loss affects about 35 million men and 21 million women in the United States alone. Over 40 percent of men will notice hair loss by the age of 35, while 65 percent of women see hair loss by the time they are 60. It’s fair to say that very few enjoy this hair loss. Solutions to hair loss are nothing new. The NeoGraft solution is a revolutionary, minimally invasive way to transplant hair which is the only permanent solution to the problem. The advantages over the traditional methods for hair transplant, which leaves a large scar in the back of the scalp, are numerous.

With NeoGraft , the hair follicles are removed from the back of the scalp, but without the invasive excision of hair containing scalp. This strip technique requires either staples or sutures to close the wound. This usually results in a painful recovery time and a horizontal scar on the back of the head, often visible. It also leaves the scalp with numbness in many cases. Still it is a common procedure and if well performed, can result in permanent, natural appearing hair.

Patients who have had the traditional manual technique and returned for the NeoGraft automated hair transplant have said that the NeoGraft system is a night and day improvement in recovery, less pain and the lack of a scar.

The bottom line for the patient is:

No scar
Minimal pain
Minimally invasive
More grafts compared to manual FUE
More hair survival (less hair transection) thus thicker hair
Shorter procedure
Minimal recovery time

The NeoGraft Procedure

The hairs in the grafts will remain visible for 2 to 3 weeks after the procedure, and then most will fall out, leaving the dormant bulb under the skin for 6-12 weeks. A new hair then grows from the bulb with significant hair growth in 4-6 months and a full hair growth in 12-18 months. The patient is awake, but sedated (if preferred) during the procedure and may eat, drink or listen to music. Post transplant instructions will be given along with medications and shampoo. There is usually no bandage. Patients will be able to shampoo their hair the next day and resume normal activity in 3 to 5 days. Tiny crusts may form where the grafts have been placed and usually shed in 7 to 10 days. Visit hairrestorationsavannah.com to learn more about hair restoration procedures we offer.
